Piping
orientation
during
brazing
Brazing
should
be
conducted
downwards
or
horizontally
to
avoid
filler
leakage.

Filler
Use
a
copper/phosphorus
brazing
alloy
(BCuP)
filler
that
does
not
require
flux.
Do
not
use
flux.
Flux
can
cause
corrosion
of
piping
and
can
affect
the
performance
of
compressor
oil.
Do
not
use
anti
‐
oxidants
when
brazing.
Residue
can
clog
piping
and
damage
components.
